Metamec invested early in quartz movement technology and became particularly known for its bold, sculptural starburst wall clocks of the 1960s and 70s — designs like this one that came to define the look of the British mid-century home. The company went into receivership in 1984 as German and Far Eastern imports took hold of the market, closing its Dereham factory for good in 1994.

During the mid-century sunburst boom of the 1960s and 70s, Seth Thomas licensed production of teak and brass starburst wall clocks to manufacturers in Scotland, bringing the name to the British and European market in a style quite different from their traditional American mantel and shelf clocks. These Scotland-made sunbursts are now well recognised by collectors as a distinct chapter of the brand's history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Styling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example follows the classic dagger-ray starburst format — long, tapered teak spikes radiating from a brass-ringed dial — but with a detail that sets it apart from the more common versions: alternating slender brass rods, each tipped with a small polished brass ball, sitting between the teak spikes. It's a small addition that gives the whole piece extra sparkle and a more sculptural, layered silhouette than a plain teak sunburst.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial itself is finished in warm gold-tone with bold black Arabic numerals, white sword-style hour and minute markers radiating from the centre, and a striking red sweep seconds hand that adds a real pop of colour. \"Seth Thomas\" is signed in script beneath the 12, with \"Scotland\" printed at the base of the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 56cm across, this is a genuine wall statement, with the kind of presence that anchors a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeth Thomas, Scotland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEra\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1960s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrame\/Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTeak spikes, brass rods and ball details\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e56cm (22 inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.5cm (6.5 inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMovement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew silent quartz, hands remade to match the originals, sweeping red seconds hand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClassic dagger-ray starburst with brass ball detailing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReady to hang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome light pitting to the brass rods and frame, consistent with age — please see photos.
